This is the second part of my highlights from EuroVis earlier this year in Porto, Portugal. There are papers about decision making and interaction, as well as a report on the capstone talk and a look to next year’s conference, which will be a bit different.

Reports from conferences I attend. This mainly includes IEEE VIS/VisWeek and EuroVis, but also other academic conferences like CHI and non-academic ones like OpenVis and Tapestry.
Highlights from EuroVis 2019, Part 1
The EuroVis 2019 conference took place in early June this year in Porto, Portugal. While I enjoyed the city and conference venue, I found the program a bit underwhelming this time around. I’ve kept pushing off writing this report because I found myself griping rather than talking about the content.

IEEE VIS 2018, Part 3: New Approaches, Meet the Founders, Perception and Cognition
The final report from VIS 2018 (see previously here and here) again covers papers, papers, and more papers. There are new ways to specify visualizations, a panel, perception research, as well as new work on how to deal with uncertainty in data.

IEEE VIS 2018, Part 2: Time, Evaluation, Dashboards, The Future of VIS
While the first part of this report covered mostly workshops and other events, it’s all papers from now on. Plus a session on the future of the VIS conference.

IEEE VIS 2018, Part 1: VisComm, VisInPractice, BELIV, Best Papers
The IEEE VIS conference is the most important outlet for academic research. This year’s conference took place in Berlin, Germany. Here is a report on some of the most interesting (to me, anyway) papers, events, and developments, in three parts.

EuroVis 2018, Wednesday through Friday
EuroVis raged on through the end of the week with talks, posters, and lots of food. This second part covers papers about visualization evaluation, high-dimensional structures, graph layouts, etc., as well as the capstone and closing (with information about next year).

EuroVis 2018, Monday and Tuesday
EuroVis 2018 in Brno, Czechia, is in full swing. The first two days included workshops, the opening with a very fun and interesting keynote, and some good papers. [Read more…] about EuroVis 2018, Monday and Tuesday
IEEE VIS 2017: A SciVis Perspective
Since my (Robert)’s conference reports are almost entirely focused on InfoVis (and a bit of VAST), I have asked Noeska Smit, medical visualization professor and my collaborator in the Vis Potpourri postings, to write about VIS from the SciVis perspective. Everything below are Noeska’s words. [Read more…] about IEEE VIS 2017: A SciVis Perspective
IEEE VIS 2017: Machine Learning, Diversity, Parties
I’ve ignored the major new topic this year so far: machine learning. Another new thing this year, though way overdue, was that we finally started to talk about diversity. And then there were the parties. [Read more…] about IEEE VIS 2017: Machine Learning, Diversity, Parties
IEEE VIS 2017: Perception, Evaluation, Vision Science
Questions of how visualization is read and understood are a common topic in research, and this year was no exception. This part of my IEEE VIS 2017 report covers papers dealing with perceptual issues, the match between visualization and tasks, statistical reasoning, as well as a panel on vision science.
